Hairdressers leading the way in keeping communities alive
As featured on ABC News, two salons are finding a creative solution to the ever-changing border closures, lockdowns and restrictions. Two businesses which share the same roads, but not the same governments, have been cut in half by a hard border. Salons who were once in competition, are now working side by side, adapting to support their businesses and teams in any way that they can.
Tegan Egas of Moosh Salon and Casey Small of Maverick Salon are swapping staff to keep their teams employed, as each have half of their staff on opposite sides of the border. They also hand supplies over the border to each other to be delivered to their clients.
Ms Small says creative solutions are the way forward for border businesses and urges other small business owners to collaborate with each other.
"You’ve got to adapt to what’s happening around you and think outside of the box," she said, "Try not to get so down on what's happening and reach out to other people and see what they're doing."

Montaigne Moroccanoil & Eurovision
Montaigne, Australia's entry into the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 made history in May for being the first person to compete without being live in the venue. Due to COVID-19, she performed her song Technicolour through a studio-recorded performance to the semi-finals held in Rotterdam. Unfortunately, her journey ended there, but we're excited to see what the 2022 show to be held in Italy will bring! Moroccanoil is the presenting partner of the Eurovision Song Contest, and with Australia Decides announcing its return to the Gold Coast in February next year, 2022 is already gearing up, so stay tuned!
